Memories, money and move-

For Seniors this was a year of

at CHS.
— Academics
Just as throwing a log on a fire
increases a flame, so does
change spark the academic
flame. New teachers add a lit-

— Under grads
Growth and individuality are
a major part of being an un-

sibilities and traditions keep
the undergrad spirit alive.
— Clubs
Friends, fun and involvement
tie students to various organ-

stress, time and conflict that
involvement can create.
— Sports
Winning or losing, but always
trying. Every team at Capac

Are you willing
to rise to the
occasion and keep
that flame alive?
Just as these words once rang bright and full of hope at John F. Kennedy’s inaugural
address, so do they ring with the promise of a new day at the start of each school year at
Capac High School.
Each class is like a generation, and not only do they carry their own flame of tradition
that they must keep alive, they are also passed a flame from the class that precedes them.
The first flame is the one that is most important. This flame represents everything the
class has been through. If the flame is strong, it will light the path of success, endurance
and friendship. ^
For seniors, this torch is strengthened^y each first place float they build and each Spirit
Jug they capture. It has proven its light guidance through their shared tragedies and joys.

an inferno that may always burn as an eternal inspiration and example for the classes that
follow.

Homecoming 1995
Keeping it Hot when it's Cold!
It seems as if Homecoming
every year is unique in its own
way. Maybe it is because of the
different days during spirit week
or because each class has a new
stretch of the hallway to deco-
rate. In any case. Homecoming
left a genuine impression once
again.
Homecoming is a time for the
ordinary people to feel extraor-
dinary. It brings people closer to-
gether because they are all work-
ing towards the same, basic goal
. . . to win. In the end, when one
class prevails, no hard feelings
are felt because everyone knows
that Homecoming is a time for
fun.
This year has proven how hot
Homecoming can be. This year
was unbelievable. From day one
at 7:30 a.m. when people were
decorating their halls, right up
until 12:00 a.m. on Friday night,
when people were still dancing.
Homecoming was a success.
The float building contest was
exciting for everyone. Each class
did an exceptional job. Every
grades’ own style was displayed
brilliantly.
The days of the week during
Homecoming seemed to be the
focal point for the events entire
meaning. Total spirit was por-
trayed each day as students and
staff dressed accordingly. Some
days stood out more than others,
but each day added a spark of its
own.

Living in the USA
Capac set exchange students’ spirit on fire
The only difference for them
was that it was a very new
and interesting experience.
What seems to be so normal
to you is very different for
all of them. Just as having a
locker or lunch at school.
They all enjoyed the year so
much and think that 1996
was the year of their life.
The year was not only ben-
eficial to the exchange stu-
dents but also to the Ameri-
can students. They learned
to see their country with dif-
ferent eyes and were able to
learn about three different
foreign countries.
This past year, the four
exchange students were eas-
ily detectable, due to their
shy, confused, and lost look-
ing behavior. They left Ja-
pan, Ecuador, and Germany
to be at Capac and attend
CHS as seniors.
Ikuko declared: “I’m
lucky because even though I
was born in Japan, I’m here
in Capac now.” She lived
with the Daoust family and
was a member of the choir.
‘T like to know some-
thing about other countries,
it’s people, customs and
their language.” that’s what
Cristina said and why she is
staying with Campaus.
Lastly, Sandra and Phuc
from Germany. Sandra once
mentioned: “It's never bor-
ing at Potter’s home and I
have some really fun clas-
ses.” Being the youngest
hasn't stopped Sandra from
enjoying school life. “Mak-
ing so many friends and get-
ting Rinkes as my second
family made the year the
best of my life.” said Phuc.
She also enjoyed cheerlead-
ing and living a typical
American life.
Together with spirit-week
all exchange students found
the flame of spirit. They
were participating in school
life just as all students were.

Keeping the Memories Alive
The high school years
Wandering through the halls trying to find our lockers, then frantically trying to
unlock the combination. Everyone is rushing to make it to class on time . . .
The backfire and the puff of smoke are the characteristics of that first car. Driv ing
it to school, parking, and making it in on time . . .
This is the year of first and last times for many of us. Either the first day of school
or that first car. And let’s not forget that last homecoming and that last prom. These
are the things that stick out in our minds.
Being at school at seven or seven thirty in the morning, just to decorate the halls.
We wear funny clothes and try to out-do all the other grades in Spirit Week. Then
there’s the finale — everyone goes to the Homecoming game and dance . . .
The guys are wearing tuxedos and the girls in expensive dresses. Doesn’t this
sound like a soap opera? No, it’s Prom . . .
Everyone always said to hold on to this time in our lives and have fun. You can
never go back and relive these memories. After this we enter the difficult real world.
Take that into consideration and . . . Keep the Memories Alive.

Going to school with on-
ly a couple hours of sleep
and managing to stay
awake the whole day is
something most people
have experienced. Besides
school and extra-curricular
activities, there are things
that people have to do, and
like to do. For example; the
homecoming dance, going
to parties, or going to a late
night movie.
All of these things take
time and energy. How does
a person stay up so late and
still manage to come to
school? You have to have
the ability to maintain an
edge in whatever you do.
This is all part of a contin-
uing cycle in which there is
no end. Sure, people do not
have to go to late movies
or go to parties; however,
every person has probably
done something like this
for fun. There has to be a
willingness to get up in the
morning and come to
school after staying out
late. Everybody needs a
day off every now and
then, but quite often you
find yourself trying to stay
awake or even trying to
stay alive at a party. It does
not matter what a person
may do, there is always a
need to try and stay alive.

Keeping the Funds
Alive
Working Hard for Our Money
Working towards a
brighter future is what many
students at Capac High do in
their spare time. Many get
jobs for extra spending, a
new car and even college.
Holding a job can be fun as
well as a way to earn money.
You can find students work-
ing everywhere; from res-
taurants to video stores to
banks.
Sometimes holding a job
while still in school can help
a person decide what career
plans are suitable for their
future. Some students might
find they would like to own
their own restaurant, or man-
age their own company.
Between homework, ex-
tracurricular activities, and
holding a job, a student’s life
can get pretty hectic. The
more a student gets involved
with activities, the more dis-
cipline is required from an
individual. Keeping the
times and dates right can be-
come very difficult. This
teaches students the value of
responsibility.
Money is important, and
students often spend too
much and save too little.
Therefore, we must take on
the challenge of a job to
keep the funds alive for the
future.

“The Royal
Flame”
Homecoming 1996
Style, spirit, and total class describes this year’s senior court.
Keeping the spirit alive from years past, this class knows how
to display their spirit . . . with pride. This past year, the seniors
captured first place in the annual float building contest. They
smoked out their competition during spirit week to single hand-
edly seize the spirit jug for their third and final year.
The students that make up the class of 1996 have a lot to be
proud of. The student body was quick to observe that pride when
the ten representatives of the senior class walked across the gym
floor during the annual pep assembly. Dressed to impress: Kris-
tina Govaere, Melanie Hayes, Nicole Kauffman, Rose Rinke,
Kari Rhody, Albert Geoit, Tyrone Hill, Dave Mallo, Donnie
Rosati, and Jason Zink made up the senior homecoming court
for the class of 1996. They truly displayed what it was like to
possess “The Royal Flame.”
Later that evening during the half time of the big game, Capac
High School chose Nicole Kauffman and Dave Mallo to reign
as the 1996 Homecoming Queen and King.
This may be their last year of High School, but the heat of
spirit from the class of 1996 will bum throughout the halls of
Capac High School for years to come!

Keeping
The
Academics
Alive
Students Burning the Midnight Flame; this sums up the Capac
Chiefs student body. Some participate in sports, and others
maintain jobs outside of school. Whatever they do on their free
time, homework is something they all can relate to. It's common
knowledge that those Algebra story problems and English
compositions can get quite demanding. However, Academics
doesn't only include the homework, it's also the teachers and
students’ resources.
Slowly but surely, Capac High School is becoming
modernized with the redesigned library, and the addition of up-
dated computers. We were fortunate enough to establish a new
media center, located in the library, which keeps us in touch
with current affairs. The school computer lab has acquired the
latest programs. They include the Internet, Pentium, Windows
“95" and Microsoft Word. This technology will help us develop
the skills we will need for the future.
What would Academics be without teachers? To answer it in
one word, “Harsh." The average student would have to learn
from books without the guidance and assurance of a teacher.
That\s why the Board of Education has hired eight new teachers.
The first few days were difficult on the new teachers and
students. After a few weeks, locker combinations and schedules
were being memorized and friends were being made. As for the
teachers, remembering names was the biggest problem. Still, we
all got through it.
Change is what keeps things going. It there was never change, lhi k •
things would get old and stale and people would get tired. This asking me to
year the changes were adding the teachers, the computers, and change,'* says
the new media center. This is Capac's contributions to keeping N,ck Revilzcr “I

What Keeps Your
Fire Burning?
Is it singing day after day,
devoting many hours to Mr.
Schoenherr in vocal music,
or is it sawing and cutting
wood with Mr. Keskimaki in
general woods? Or just may-
be it’s expressing your feel-
ings through paintings or pa-
per maches with Ms. Miller
in art. Whatever it may be
that Keeps Your Flame
Alive it’s sure to be some-
thing that you enjoy doing.
There's always those re-
quired courses you have to
take, but then there are those
few hours left that save you
from what seems to be an all
work and no play life. Junior
Crystal Clark brightens up
her fifth hour by speaking in
Spanish. “Spanish II is easy
for me,” said Clark, “I like
it because it broadens my
knowledge of other lan-
guages and countries.”
When asked why art inter-
ested her. Junior Sherry Pel-
ton commented, “Art is a
way to express your feelings
and have fun at the same
time. I like painting the best
because it keeps my mind
off of things when I'm hav-
ing a bad day.”
Wherever you choose to
go in life, whatever you de-
cide to do, make sure you
please the most important
person — yourself. But, most
of all, never let your dreams
go up in smoke.

Shedding Light On Our Path
To Success
Math And Business
Angles, equations, radius,
and the circumference of a
circle are things you never
thought you would learn as
a high school student. Now
that you are almost finished
with your schooling you
have learned all these things.
As a first year math teach-
er, what do you think your
students are going to get out
of your class? ‘They have
become more knowledgea-
ble about math. Also they
will be able to use their math
when they enter the real

Business classes are just
as important as math classes.
In order to take business
classes you have to have a
good math background. In
your business classes you
learned the skills and attrib-
utes necessary to tackle the
cutthroat world of business.
In BST you are taught
how to use the basic key-
boarding skills which help
you throughout the course of
the year. What have your
students learned in the
course of the year? “The

How Do They
Light our Future?
Requirements
Math and History may be
required classes, but they
come in handy in our future.
Not everyone likes learning
E = MC 2 or memorizing all 42
presidents, but in the long run
we'll need to know this infor-
mation.
In math we learn equations,
segments, and much more.
These are useful for our fu-
ture, even though sometimes
it doesn't seem to be.
How do you think math
helps your students in their fu-
ture?
“Well, I'd have to say in
problem solving. They will
face problems each and every
day of their future,” replied
Mr. Perryman.
In history we learn about
our past, but we're also learn-
ing how it affects our every-
day lives.
In almost every class you
have to write a book report or
essay at sometime. This is
where your English skills
come in.
In English, we learn almost
every little detail about our
writing and language itself.
These skills are essential to
getting jobs and just carrying
on an everyday conversation.
“Math and BST classes
prepare me for obstacles I
might acquire at the bank,”
quoted Erin Potter.
“With the Science, Math,
and Computer skills I've
learned I will have a compet-
itive edge in college and
hopefully will get into the
medical field I want,” replied
Rose Rinke.
Besides English and histo-
ry, we also have math, sci-
ence, and business classes that
are required. In all these sub-
jects we are taught new ideas
and concepts and how to use
them in our everyday life.
As you get older you real-
ize how important it is to
make the right decisions about
the classes you choose. These
decisions are starting the path
to your future.
So in reality, the decisions
we make about the classes we
take start the flame to our fu-
ture.

Students Connect Science With Their Everyday Life
There are various types of
Science classes that you will
have to take in your high
school career: Tech, Earth
Science, Physical Science and
Biology.
There are also various sci-
ence electives you may take:
Chemistry, Biology 2, Phys-
ics, Animal Science and Plant
Science.
Science can be fun. For in-
stance, in Capac's Tech you
make cars, rockets and roast
hot dogs with the heat of the
sun. Chemistry is also fun, but
you better know your math
equations. If you're into di-
secting pigs. Biology 2 is right
up your alley. Do you enjoy
field trips? In Animal Science
you'll raise chickens from
start to finish! The other sci-
ences speak for themselves in
the enjoyment you'll get out
of them.
On a serious note, we're
lucky our Capac Science
teachers make these various
science classes interesting and
enjoyable for students to
learn.
Where would the future
chemist be if in high school
their teachers didn't encour-
age them to go on and pursue
their career ? Or where would
the nurse, doctor and dentist
be if their teachers didn't
make it fun and challenging?
So as these pages reflect,
students can have fun and ev-
erlasting memories in the field
of Science.

TEC
i • i * • ^ • • • •
Building the futures of tomorrow
today.
Have you ever asked
yourself if there was anyway
to get a head start on your
career? Many people have
and to many people there is
an answer. The answer is
T.E.C. TEC is an opportu-
nity waiting for someone to
grab it. There are many areas
in which you could study,
for example: cosmetology,
business, mechanics, nurs-
ing, and many more. To
many people, TEC may
seem like just a waste of
time; however, it can give
you a jump start on a possi-
ble career. Nursing, for ex-
ample, for quite a few weeks
you might be learning how
to work all the equipment
used in this profession. After
this you would be sent to a
workplace to get hands-on
training.
Co-op is also an option
through TEC. Once a person
has fulfilled all the required
hours of training, they might
be sent to a place to actually
work. After all this is com-
pleted, St. Clair County will
then endorse you. This could
lead to a high paying job,
even if a person decides not
to expand their knowledge
by going to college.
Through TEC you can en-
ter many contests. Whether
it be at the district, state, or
national level; it is guaran-
teed to be a good experience.
All these things show
what TEC has to offer. How-
ever, a person has to really
put their mind to work if
they are planning to make a
successful career out of what
they learn in TEC. This can
be a great opportunity to
keep that career flame alive.

Change With
Stability
Change for tomorrow, stability foreuer
Most reactions have a
limiting reagent: the part that
controls just how far a reac-
tion can go. The school
board and administration are
often seen as the limiting re-
agent in life at Capac High:
determining policies and
dress codes, setting stan-
dards and enforcing all of
these things.
Lately though, it seems as
if the school board and ad-
ministration have aban-
doned this role and taken a
new position: one of expan-
sion for both the future and
the best of the Capac School
District.
Even with the failure of
the Bond Issue, Capac High
has seen many changes.
Some of the changes have
been in the appearance of the
school.
Capac Community School's School
Board: Dale Stucver. Secretary;
William Ellis, Treasurer Pro-Tern:
David Greenia. Vice-President;
Marie Killingbeck, Secretary Pro-
Tern; Virginia Schaefer, Treasurer:
Diana Nelson, Trustee.
The main office is now
sporting new carpeting,
wallpaper and paint. Not to
mention a new binding ma-
chine and risograph.
Capac High no longer has
a “library," it has a “media
center." What, you may ask,
makes a library a media cen-
ter? Well, a lot of money and
a lot of work on the parts of
Mrs. Swayze and Mrs.
Behnke. Oh, that and a new
computer lab, a computer-
ized card catalog and a ride
on the Information Super
Highway. All of this and a
little redecorating have giv-
en CHS a media center.
Almost everyone has seen
the changes in the main of-
fice and the media center,
but few have noticed the
changes made to the kitchen.
Mrs. Huston has a new of-
fice and the kitchen staff has
a new walk-in refrigerator.
Not all of the changes in-
voked by the school board
and administration have
been in the appearance of the
building. There have been a
lot of changes in Capac's
staff. On the first day of
school there were numerous
new faces on the Capac High
teaching staff.
All of these changes are
working to make CHS a bet-
ter place for today, and es-
pecially for tomorrow.
No matter how many
changes or challenges Capac
High may go through, there
will always be one stable
force; the Capac Board of
Education and Administra-
tion.

Special Services
The people who keep CHS alive
Sway-zonian Philosophy for
whiners: “If that is the only
disappointment you suffer in
life — consider yourself truly
fortunate," Mrs. Swayze.
Special Services are there
for you. They try to keep
your disappointments low
and make school life easier
for you.
Your student records are
kept up-to-date by the office
staff. They are also the link
to the world outside of CHS.
They can change your day or
even you theirs. “The stu-
dents put me in a good
mood," Mrs. Kinney.
In the same part of the
school we find our counsel-
ors. Three ladies to lessen
our school problems.
Kathy Carey, one of the
special education teachers,
thinks, “You never outgrow
your need of learning."
They support us so that we
may achieve this goal and
are the ones who make
school even for everybody.
How much more comfort-
able is it to have librarians,
people who actually know
where to find what's in the
new media center.
To comfort your hungry
stomach, the lunch ladies
have prepared lunch every
day. So it is not strange that
Mrs. Cline likes the coffee
break most about her job.
Just as most students like the
lunch break in their school
life.
All the mess we leave
each day has to be managed
by the janitor and his crew.
If you think about it you'll
be amazed how much work
this is.
Just imagine CHS without
somebody to clean the
school, prepare your lunch,
help you to find your books,
to advise you in your subject
or college decisions and no
one to help with special
challenges, so that every-
body has a chance to suc-
ceed. What a nightmare!
All of the people we have
to be so very thankful for en-
joy their jobs most, as they
commented, “because of the
students."
The students certainly
wouldn’t like the school
without the Special Services.
The people who keep CHS
alive.

‘Driving a ‘Bus
It takes ‘Power, Energy, and Grit
Don't you think so? You know, some kids are so hyper
and annoying after school and on their way home. So most
of the drivers have to yell, ‘‘Settle down!” every single day.
It seems really hard to drive the bus and control kids at the
same time. About 1 , 1 50 kids take the bus to school everyday,
and sometimes we need drivers for field trips or sports. But,
did you know that only 23 people support the transportation
system, while there are a thousand students? Supervisor Mr.
Ogden, two mechanics, and 20 drivers are working hard.
What makes their job more difficult is the student's bad man-
ners. No pop or candy on the bus, and don't make a mess.
It will keep your bus clean, and shows your gratitude to our
transportation staff.

Underclassmen
live at ease
in new
surroundings.
Most everyone enters high school with the foggiest notion of
exactly how to behave as an individual. At first, eighth graders
have no knowledge of how to cut in the lunch line undetected, are
not accustomed to exams, and during their first year of high school,
display close to no school spirit. As time progresses, the once
youngest class graduates to become freshmen. This is when they
start to get competitive. Spirit Week gets more challenging, having
to outdo their ideas and newly discovered spirit.
A high school student's life mainly consists of worries
concerning grades, social status, and athletics. During this time
period, however, students become of age to drive and many take on
the responsibility of working. Mostly, this has a good effect on an
individual. As a student grows, so does one's individuality.
Individuality is the key to creating a mixture of persons that help
unite the school in terms of spirit and imagery.
Being an Undergrad is often misconceived. It is hardly as bad as
it seems. Seniors, of course, will always have an advantage to
Undergrads . . . they are Seniors. For the most part, however.
Undegrads have far more advantages. No filling out college
applications, no wasting gas to visit college campuses, and no
going through the horror of a possible loss of the spirit jug during
the last year of high school.
A little flame lies within all high school students. With time and
experience, it will grow into a fire bursting with elements that make
high school a blast. Sort of like a fairy tale, the beginning may be a
little slow, but by the end a person does not want anything to
change. Be spirited now and take advantage of being an
underclassmen. Be part of all that you can in high school, and learn
to benefit from mistakes. Last but not least, keep your spirit alive,
keep the flame alive.

"The Alternative Flame"
Alternative Education
A recent addition to the Capac School System is a
program called Alternative Education.
Capac Alternative is in its second year of existence.
Serving approximately 25 students, this new program
is designed for 16-20 year old students who are not
successful in the traditional school setting and are
seeking an alternative learning environment.
Capac Alternative focuses on getting students back
in school, and working toward the attainment of a high
school diploma. The program offers small group learn-
ing and hands-on activities that emphasize the transi-
tion from school to work. The curriculum models the
high school's curriculum, with a few deviations re-
garding electives. Students who complete the gradu-
ation requirements earn a high school diploma.
During the 1994-95 school year, alternative students
earned three scholarships and several students went on
to pursue a degree.
So, next time you think about those individuals that
make up our student body, do not forget the students
who choose “The Alternative Flame".

Juniors what does this mean? It you look it up in the dictionary it says:
students in the next-to-Iast year before graduating from high school. But it
means more than that! It means you’re beginning to think about what you
will do after high school (if you haven't started already). You seriously start
thinking about college and moving away from home.
For most ot you, you will be attending your very First prom. It’s your
classes turn to put on the prom. Finding a hall, getting decorations, having
tood or not, and finding a photographer. It takes a lot of work to put on the
prom and you are praying that everything goes well.
The majority of juniors can drive now. The main priority in your lives are
your friends. Second in line is probably sports. Trying out for varsity sports
and having tun. Lastly, your school work. It always seems like there is
always something else to do besides homework! But you try to keep up.
Basically, this is your last year. Next year will be bliss. Your senior year
will go by very fast. Cherish all that you do because next year will be the
last time you do many things! Have tun, keep the traditions going, and
maybe create some of your own. Junior Class of 1997, it’s your job to Keep
The Flame Alive!
Trying to beat the
Senior Class of
1995 and keep
everything from
falling down, the

Through the
Jungle of Life
The class of 1998 has done some great things during their high school
years. This year the class of 1998 had a trip to the look forward to.
The class of '98 had a great three years in the high school. They have
done some great things. This year they went to the Detroit Zoo for a trip
with their BIO class. They learned about different types of animals and
where they live. They also learned about the things they eat. They learn-
ed about how various animals adopt to various situations.
“What was your favorite animal at the zoo? My favorite animal at
the zoo was the monkeys. The monkeys were cute. They did funny things
and made cute sounds,” said Maria Revitzer.
Like the animals at the zoo, the class will face various road blocks
which will be thrown in front of them. Overcoming the hostile environ-
ment will be a challenge in itself. Just remember, its a jungle out there.

they can win

how to make things look bright
The first day of being a Freshman can be pretty difficult. Being
pushed around by all the upperclassmen while trying to find your way
around isn’t the easiest thing to do. Yet the class of 1999 had very few
problems and the ones they did have seemed to be taken care of in no
time at all.
From Mr. Ebner’s Civics, to Ms. Bourque’s English class, things
can get pretty hectic around the farm. Sometimes being a Freshman
puts you in an awkward stage. You're still considered a baby, you’re
not in the middle like the Sophomores, and you seem to be far away
from being in the upperclassmen group. All these feelings though start
to fade as the upperclassmen gradually start to accept you as one of
them. The class of 1999 has got this under control with no questions
asked.
Having their futures now to think about, life seems to be going at a
faster pace. Getting older, driving, proms and the problems that
accompany them all lie ahead of this class.

Igniting the flame to the future is the class of 2000. They are a
unique group of individuals who will embark on many adventures in
the coming years. They will create memories to last them a lifetime.
However, this won't be as easy as they think. They must first
encounter the ever familiar eighth grader jokes. Learning to cope with
friends, school, and sports can get extremely hectic. For many eighth
graders, this is their last chance to get a general idea of what they plan
to do in the future. This is their last year before they must hit the
books hard to prepare for their success.
The class of 2000 is a flaming group of students who are the second
largest class at Capac High School. They also hold a special
graduation year which is the turn of the century. These students are
the children of tomorrow. The flames that burn inside each of them
will ignite the hope for a bigger and brighter future. By giving way to
a bigger flame, these individuals will give way to the growth of our
nation's future.

Organizations
Clubs
and The
Groups
Trying to be active in school can be difficult sometimes,
but with the assistance of clubs, it is made a little easier.
There are many clubs that a person could be involved in. For
instance, S.A.D.D. is a club that tries to make people more
aware of the effects of drinking alcohol and what it can do.
On the other hand, S.A.V.E. helps protect the earth by
recycling paper and planting trees. The F.F.A. is another club
that is always very busy. Whether it is from sponsoring the
Walk America Marathon, you are almost guaranteed to have
a very full schedule. There are also clubs for different
languages; the Spanish and French clubs. You do not have to
be fluent in the language but you have to have had at least
one class of the language. An important organization that
requires certain things to get into is the National Honor
Society. To be a member of this you need a certain grade
point average and a few outstanding qualities. Being a
member of the National Honor Society is an honor only a few
people receive. There are many clubs and you can gain many
good experiences and leadership qualities. If a lot of effort is
put into these clubs, then you will gain a lot back. Clubs are
very important and they do a lot for the school, the
community, and the earth. If you want to be burning up with
activities, then join as many clubs as you can.

‘Pep, Jazz, and Concert
They are at all of the football and basketball games.
They're some of the most spirited people at our school.
Who is it? . . . It's the band of course! The band is a major
part of our sporting events. They lead us in the Capac
Fight Song and get the crowd going. However, this is
only a small part of what they do. The band itself is di-
vided into the pep, jazz, and concert bands. Band students
participate in the half-time show at one of Central Mi-
chigan University's football games. They also perform a
few concerts each year; such as the Christmas Benefit
Show.
For the second consecutive year the band has been di-
rected by Ms. Pontti. The senior drum major was Becky
Thielman.
With spirit and dedication, and pride the Capac High
School Band keeps the spirit alive.

Student Council
Making decisions to benefit others
The Student Council is made up of students
from all ages and interests. They all come to-
gether to make decisions that benefit the school,
students, and others.
The Student Council puts on a drive in Oc-
tober to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foun-
dation. They were able to raise $638 for the
Foundation. During Christmas, they put on a
food and clothing drive. All the clothing they
took in was sent to the DARES shelter, the food
items were sent to the Capac Food Shelter.
The Student Council is also putting on Snow-
coming with a Midevil theme for the student
body.
With all these great activities, who wouldn't
want to be on the Student Council?

The Flame
of Leadership
Capac FFA Chapter
Setting goals, making
friends, taking risks, and ac-
complishing the unthinkable
is a daily routine of any Ca-
pac High School FFA mem-
ber.
This year's chapter is 72
strong, which helps to con-
tribute to the 413,000 FFA
members nationwide.
This club is made up of
the most dedicated students
participating in such activi-
ties as: Leadership Contest,
Poultry Improvement, Land
Judging, State and National
Convention, Leadership
Lock-ins, Pet Parade, March
of Dimes Walk-a-thon, Food
for America and much.
much more!
FFA is a symbol of prom-
ise for tomorrow's leaders.
Students have an honest in-
terest in agriculture and the
environment, community
service, and having fun.
The Capac FFA Chapter
has been recognized at re-
gional, state, and even na-
tional levels. Members also
have been recognized for
their accomplishments at
each level of competition.
FFA members are promi-
nent examples of those in-
dividuals who keep the
“Flame" of leadership
alive.

S.A.D.D.
Spreading like wildfire
SADD (Students against Driving Drunk) is an organiza-
tion that benefits everyone and has one main purpose: to
reduce the number of alcohol related crashes. This organi-
zation is spreading like WILDFIRE throughout all of Mi-
chigan.
This year, Ms. Pamela Bourque became the new advisor,
helping in our goal. The officers helping her to achieve these
goals are President Teresa Swamba, Vice President Misty
Vranish, Secretary Melanie Hayes, Treasurer Jen Abel and
Student Council Representative Becky Bufton.
”SADD has changed my view about driving drunk by
showing all the things that can happen while under the in-
fluence of alcohol. When the SADD group talks about al-
cohol related incidences it makes me realize that driving
drunk is not worth risking your life or others just to have a
little fun,” says
S.A.D.D.
Pledge
1.1 will not
drink and
drive.
2.1 will not
ride with
someone
that has
been drink-
ing.
3.1 will en-
courage my
friends to
do the same.

Rekindling
the Resources
Saving for Our Future
Saving our environment is
this club’s main goal. It is
chiefly concerned with the
pollution, waste disposal,
and natural resources of the
earth. This group has ex-
panded with over twenty-
five members. Students
Against Violating the Envi-
ronment is a unique group
which conducts activities
that only benefit the earth.
Some of their past activities
include the planting of three
pine trees on the school
grounds. Additionally, they
took up a charitable collec-
tion for the Curious Crit-
ters — lion and tiger reserve.
Some of the members joined
together to pick up debris for
Adopt-A-Highway. Recy-
cling plastic bags with the
help of Farmer Jacks is an-
other helpful issue. S.A.V.E.
recycles all the boxes used
by the cafeteria, and also the
white lined paper used by
students. This club has a ter-
rific sponsor — Ms. Eisner —
who has dedicated many
hours of her time. S.A.V.E.
will continue to expand their
environmental techniques
for the future.

FOUR COUNTY
Not Just
Another Organization
What is Four County? Most stu-
dents ask this question and even few-
er know the answer.
The Four County Foundation is an
organization that consists of students
from Capac, Armada, Romeo, Al-
mont, Imlay City, and Dryden. This
organization is in charge of giving out
scholarships, awarding grants, and in
getting these six schools involved to-
gether in activities.
In January, the Four County Foun-
dation put on a dance, and really
weren't sure what to expect. It turned
out there were over 300 kids from the
six schools there having a great time.
“I enjoy getting to know students
from other schools. There's a lot of
fun involved in Four County, but
there’s also a lot of work." — Jill
Wallace
The Four County Foundation con-
sists of President Angela Campau, ad-
visors Jill Wallace, Tiffany Ellis, and
a committee made up of ten Capac
High School students.
The Four County Foundation is not
a regular organization. They do not
meet on a regular basis. They only
meet on certain days, but when they
do: it means business.
The only senior in the Four County
Foundation is Angela Campau. She's
not just the only senior in Four Coun-
ty but she also the president of the
organization. It’ll be awfully tough to
say goodbye to this senior!

JAZZ BAND
WHERE THE SELECT FEW EXCEL
Remember back in 5th grade when
everyone wanted to be part of the
band? Everyone went to the meeting
and picked out the instrument they
wanted to play. However, after about
one year of band, it seems most of us
quit. Only a select few pursued their
goal and became not just band mem-
bers, but Jazz Band members.
Saxophone, trombone, trumpet, bass
guitar, drum, and piano; these are the
instruments the jazz band prefers to
jam with. Leading this gifted group of
musicians is 2nd year band instructor
Miss Ponti. Ms. Ponti not only takes
ft

afterschool time with Jazz Band mem-
bers, but with the High School Band as
well.
Jazz Band participants range from
seventh grade to the twelfth grade.
There are a lot of younger members in
Jazz Band, but it’s all good because by
the time they are seniors, they will be
outstanding musicians. It takes a lot of
hard work and you have to be willing
to give up your free time to be in Jazz
Band. So next time you hear the Band
play, just think, maybe you'll be hear-
ing one of them on the radio next time! !

Quiz Bowl
Fire Up Your Buzzers
It takes a lot of talent to
be a part of the Capac Quiz
Bowl team. This team, made
up of students from different
grades, combines talent and
knowledge with fun and to-
tal participation.
Quiz Bowl is an excellent
way to learn and a terrific
opportunity to spend your
time after school. This group
is unique in the fact that each
member has an equal oppor-
tunity to participate and
share their abilities at every
practice and match.
This year, the Quiz Bowl
team has done fairly well.
With several matches al-
ready behind them, they are
always very confident going
into a match. Having Mr.
Cutler as their coach our
Quiz Bowl team will surely
come out on top.
It seems that Quiz Bowl is
a club that more people
should look into. Anyone
who thinks that their inter-
ests are out-of-the-ordinary
should watch a practice. I
am sure that they could use
your help.

Science Club
Creating A Reaction
To some. Science Club
may be thought of as a group
of kids standing around in
safety goggles and blowing
up the lab. It is true that this
may sound funny, but it is
very false. Actually, Science
Club is made of students
who are in the Physics,
Chemistry, Biology II and
Independent Biology II clas-
ses, which are taught by Mr.
Young and Mr. Hunt.
In years past, the Science
Club has gone to the Detroit
Science Center and many
other trips to learn and ex-
perience science using a
hands-on approach.
Although the Science
Club has not had the oppor-
tunity to go on a field trip,
they still learn new and ex-
citing aspects of science eve-
ry day. Take for instance, the
two students who are in In-
dependent Biology III. Shel-
ly Tucsok and Jim Croxon
took the initiative to pursue
their interest in biology.
They are presently exploring
the Internet. Science Club is
much more than goggles and
chemicals, it is a continuous
learning experience.

l Ha bias esparto 1?
The Spanish Club is made up of students who arc
in or have been in any one of Sehora Eisner’s Span-
ish classes.
This year they went out to lunch at a Mexican
restaurant ‘Don Pablo’s’ in Flint. There they will
experience a real Mexican meal.
In March, they traveled to Flint to see a perform-
ance of the play Don Quixote, which is a play about
a man and his friend who think they can save the
world from giants, which arc actually windmills.
Laura Wasilco says, “Being in Spanish Club
helped me to understand the Spanish culture more
and helps me explore my heritage.”

Parlez-vous Franqais?
When you walk down the hall past Mr. Cutler's
room, sometimes you can hear a tape with funny voic-
es saying French phrases and then one big voice (the
class) repeating those French phrases. That class and
many more are involved in the French Club.
The French Club has been involved in the Christmas
Benefit Show singing their version of Jingle Bells
called, Vive les Vent.
Mr. Cutler creates the French Scene in Calc Fran-
cis while his students eat French bread and drink
French coffee, while using the utensils they have
learned the French name for.
So if you want to get involved in one of these
French Scenes, take a French class.

Burning Up The Spotlight
Capac Choir Takes The Stage
With a challenging year
ahead and a new director,
Timothy Schoenherr, Capac
High School Choir was off
to a confusing start.
“The first day that I
walked into the Choir room,
all I was worried about was
if Choir would be the same
or if it would change drasti-
cally in a bad way, but so far
it hasn't changed for the
worse," Lori Camire, Sen-
ior.
“I look forward to the
new music, the chance to
work with a new director,
and his ideas." Nick Revitz-
er. Senior
"The first day of Choir
felt like every other year, on-
ly this time Mr. Schoenherr
was standing at the piano,
not Mr. Kabobel." Melanie
Hayes, Senior
"I look forward to meet-
ing Mr. Schoenherr and see-
ing all of the things I could
tease him about." Karl
Rishe, Junior
To the fifty five students
who walked into Choir class
September Fifth, feelings
were somewhat confusing.
After becoming familiar
with the change however,
feelings became positive.
This year's Choir pulled
together and worked as a
team. The new attitudes
showed in their daily re-
hearsals and performances.
Although the annual Choir
trip got delayed, the Choir
did get to see "Joseph and
the Amazing Technicolor
Dreamcoat." Capac Choir
performances this year were
a big success. They per-
formed to their maximum,
and did it exceptionally.
Without a doubt, Capac
Choir burned up the spot-
light. Let's just hope they
left some sparks up on the
stage.

National
Honor Society
Burning The Lamp Of Learning
The National Honor So-
ciety, a.k.a. N.H.S., is a
group dedicated to excel-
lence in all areas. To become
a member, you must have a
3.2 gradepoint average and
be an asset to the communi-
ty. Every year juniors and
seniors are inducted based
on four qualities: scholar-
ship, leadership, service, and
character.
N.H.S. elects officers like
many other clubs and they
arc advised by Fred Hunt.
This year’s officers are Nik-
ki Daoust, President; Laura
Wasilco, Vice President;
Xenia Hargrave, Secretary;
Rose Rinke, Treasurer; Mi-
chael Ledebuhr, Historian;
Erin Potter, Parliamentarian.
N.H.S. is also involved in
fund-raisers. This year for
example, they sold apple ci-
der and poinsettias. Of
course, they also provide
doughnuts and milk for the
Honor Roll Breakfast.
On an annual basis they
hold a strange yet fascinat-
ing ceremony to induct new
members. During the cere-
mony, members discuss
what each of the four quali-
ties (scholarship, leadership,
service, and character) mean
to them and light a candle to
represent it. New inductees
light their own candle and
sign the “sacred scroll.”
Despite it's strange quirks,
the National Honor Society
is truly keeping the flame
alive.

Rebuilding a Fire
Trying to find the matches
We laughed, we all cried,
and we definitely screamed.
We got to know our new ad-
visor James Brennan — who
himself came to know layout
rules. Most importantly we
grew to know each other.
The new year started out
with only four returning
staff members. These four
helped Mr. Brennan and the
rest of the class learn about
layout rules. Although the
confusion at first did create
some “Minor’ ’ chaos, the
students pulled together and
worked as a team.
The cover, on the other
hand, was a different case.
That unfortunately is a part
of Yearbook, and every year
is always heated and is most
likely offensive. This year
though it wasn't too bad.
Only a few words were said,
and the cover was decided in
under a month.
With that on the way, the
only problem facing staffers
were deadlines. Fast dead-
lines. While most handled
them extremely well and
made the grade, there were
those who well, didn't. But
in the end, hundreds of stu-
dents rushed to the Journal-
ism room to receive their
yearbook.
Please, as you leaf
through these pages, consid-
er the hard work and effort
that went into capturing

these memories. Although
you'll commonly hear that
Yearbook is just another
blowoff class, the story you
hear from a staffer — espe-
cially when pressed for a
deadline — will be a different
one.
This year brought forth
many challenges to this
year's staffers. They came in
confused and unaware of the
facing task, but came out ex-
perienced staffers for years
to come. Just as the headline
says, we were trying to re-

Blazing a path into the history hooks for another year were
Capac's Sport’s teams. The year of 95-96 saw many changes
in Capac's strong sports programs.
In Football, after Mr. Ro*as and Mr. Kreisch stepped
down, up stepped Athletic Director Mr. Clement and his staff
of coaches. This move was probably the most hated and
loved topic of the year.
“Football and Life hav^a lot in common. One thing
football teaches you is to keep going no matter what happens
and that is what helped the team this year,’’, said Capac

OVERALL: 20-1 7
STA: 8-10
Dynamite! This awesome
group of men rocked the turfs of
the golf courses they played.
These eight refined gentlemen
were led by their fearless
coach — Mr. Young. They strived
for excellence and perfection
with each game. Mr. Young's ex-
pertise helped show them the
proper techniques, correct golf
strategies and etiquette. The fac-
es of these men were joyful after
a glorious win, and determined
after a hard loss. Never giving up
their next challenge, this great
team took on all competitors with
pride.
This driving, ambitious team
grasped fifth place at the Muskrat
Scramble with a score of four un-
der par. They took fifth place in
the STA and finished 8-10 in
their league. They conquered all
with a sweet victory at the C-D
Division of Memphis Invitation-
al. Capac's golf team checked in
at third place at the Peck Invita-
tional. Defeating six other teams,
they took eighth place in the
fourteen team regional.
Several of Capac's Golf Team
members took home honorable
awards. Brian Murray was elect-
ed to First Team STA. Ryan
Kriesch, a third year member,
was selected to the Second Team
STA. Nile McGeorge and Mark
Remenap both received Honora-
ble Mention to the STA.
Tearing up the green and burn-
ing up the competition was the
Capac's Golf Team. We congrat-
ulate them on an excellent year
and wish them luck for next year.

The 1995-96 Capac Golf season marks Mr. Young’s four-
teenth consecutive season as coach. Each year, at least two
of his players are nominated to first or second team STA.
Coach Young has taken several of his teams to regional and
slate finals. His teams average between eight and ten play-
ers.
When asked what he felt has been his biggest accomplish-
ment as coach, he answered, “Taking three trips to the state
finals.”
Coach Young says, “Understanding of golf etiquette, out-
lining what is necessary to win a varsity letter, and contin-
uing to maintain a winning attitude,” arc some of the many
improvements he has helped contribute to the team.
Coach Young comments on some of the changes in the
golf program. “Our home golf course has moved to Holly
Meadows. We have a more competitive edge and more fe-
male participation.”
He feels the most rewarding time of his coaching career
was, “When one student received a scholarship to a private
school, and I was nominated as Coach of the Year for the
entire Blue Water Area by the Tri-City Times.”
Coach Young plans to continue coaching until his retire-
ment. and enjoys the type of participants on his teams.

Cross Country
Bumin’ Rubber
Cross Country is dominated by
the endurance mnncr. A sport that
constantly tests its competitors with
new challenges, changing terrains,
and the grueling agony that makes
Cross Country runners truly gifted
athletes.
I've heard people say that Cross
Country is track without a track,
and that's true to a certain extent,
but if you think that makes it any
easier you're out of your mind. You
can be running on a Hat surface one
minute, and the next you can be
fighting your way up hill.
This year Senior Runner Mi-
chael Ledebuhr shined brightly
putting up Godly numbers, and
catching the interest of the Tri-City
Times. Add that to a strong sup-
porting cast with names like Ad-
ams, King, St. Onge, and the two
young Super Stars Camire and
Page, and Capac is a definite team
to be reckoned with.
The leaving Seniors (Mike Led-
ebuhr, Jack King, and Jeff Adams)
all feel that they leave this team in
good hands. Mike and Jack told me
that “Jesse Page and Paul Camire
will dominate the league" and that
they will most likely “go to State."
As you can probably tell this team
is very confident with themselves
and the kids they run with. With
confidence like this it's no wonder
they won a dual meet this year.
Mr. Marzka had this to tell me
about this year's team, “1 was sorry
that we didn't have a girl's team
this year, and the boy's did better
than what can be expected." As the
Capac Cross Country team goes in-
to the future he feels that they
should have “a good team next
year." I can't argue with that. Con-
gratulations to all that ran, and good
luck to next year's team.

Friday night football was alive and
well in Capac this fall. Although the
game and the wins and losses record
remained the same, some of the faces
changed.
Last year's juniors were this year's
seniors. And last year's seniors, well,
they were gone. But, last year's
coaches were still this year's coaches,
for a portion of the season anyway.
Mid-way through the season the
coaching staff received a face-lift.
While Coach Kriesch and Coach Ro-
sas were out, Mr. Clement became
Coach Clement and Capac met
Coach Mineau and Coach Murphy.
While the team's record was not
changed by the overhaul, the spirit
was. For many Capac fans, it was
seen as a chance to turn the team
around. And while the team was un-
able to make an about-face, they
were certainly seeing a different view
by the end of the season.
One of the first opponents faced
by the “revised" team was New Ha-
ven. It can be said that some fans left
that game early, choosing not to
watch another “wupping." It can al-
so be said that those fans missed
something incredible. The Chiefs
were able to make a tremendous
come-back, losing by only one point
in the final seconds.
That game, along with many other
moments, kept the spirits in the
stands alive and llowing with pride
and enthusiasm. Winning is not the
biggest part of life after all, it's only
a small insignificant fleck that's
blown out of proportion. What Capac
players and fans alike have realized
is that what really matters is how
hard you try and what you make of
yourself, your abilities and your op-
portunities. Basically, it's what you
choose to throw into your lire that
detennines your success.

High Spirits
Enthusiasm , Dedication , and Motivation is what helps the squad when cheering for a . . .
Victory. That is often what we
heard our varsity football cheer-
leaders shout for. The squad,
which consisted of ten girls, had
to practice long hours to perfect
their tosses, arm movements, and
jumps. Before practice they
would run around the track to
warm up. Afterwards, many of
the girls still practiced their
moves to help in heightening the
spirits of our athletes, student
body, and fans.
They supported the football
team both physically and emo-
tionally. When a game was lost,
the football players were not the
only people who suffered. Re-
becca Bufton, a junior, said,
“Even though we work to per-
fect our moves, we are out on the
sidelines to motivate the players.
When they lose, we lose."
This year the girls hosted a
cheerleading clinic for young-
sters in grades kindergarten
through sixth. They instructed
the youngsters on tight arm
movements, stunts, and how to
maintain a constant spirit in a
crowd.
The girls spent all homecom-
ing week making posters and
decorating the school for the fes-
tivities. They spent the night in
the high school gym and put to-
gether the homecoming assem-
bly, which included games and a
dance they performed.
The cheerleaders not only help
motivate our athletic teams, but
they help in keeping a consistent
feeling of school spirit in the air.
Three words that most closely
describe the football cheerleaders
would be enthusiastic, motivat-
ed, and dedicated. They definite-
ly proved this time and time
again with every smile and cheer.

JV Football
Through the scorching summer
days and the crisp breeze of the fall
nights, the long, hard practices, bit-
ter cold showers, the long bus rides,
our JV Football Capac Chiefs
brought us home the championship
of our ST A.
With only one year of coaching
football under their belt, head coach
Conrad Miracle and Assistant
Coach Scott Glombowski kept
their winning llame alive the whole
season.
Our Capac JV Football team did
not die out after their first, second,
third, or even eighth game. They
kept their winning flame alive the
entire season. In return for their
heart, spirit, and hard work, they re-
ceived the title as “The STA
Champions.”
“Through the blocking, tackling
and executing, we were able to
achieve our goals, which included
the championship of our STA,”
quoted Scott Glombowski.
Leading the Chiefs to their STA
championship were quarterbacks,
Chad Rummler and Jeremy Tice.
We can't forget the hard work put
out from every player on our JV
football team.
The Chiefs only loss was to
Kingston but, let's not forget they
were not on our STA. Overall our
JV football team did an outstanding
job and deserve a lot of credit.
One of the conquests the Chiefs
had was beating the new school
Dakota! Nobody thought they
could do it because the school was
so big. Well they beat the odds.
They put Dakota right in its place,
after Capac. A, B, Capac, Dakota.
This was only a fraction of the
victories the Chiefs brought home.

Sporting a 3-3 record, the Chiefs
finished five-hundred. They had a
lot to live up to since the previous
season the Capac Junior High
School Football team were the
league champions. Turnovers are
what hurt the chiefs in their three
defeats.
The players liked the hitting part
of practice best. Practice was fun,
you got to get dirty, roll around in
the mud, toss the ball around a little
and prove to the coach that you are
good enough to be on the first
string. However, when it came
down to play in the games, the
players said that they figured they
would do better.
The guys grew as a team as well
as individually. They learned
sportsmanship and leadership. You
can see the difference in the way
the team played and practiced.
The Capac Chiefs were solid at
the Quarterback position with Mar-
ty Miller. When Marty Miller went
down in the game, Curtis Dunlap
and Robert Komak stepped in nice-
ly and the team didn't miss a beat.
On defense. Josh Vamvas was
solid on the line. Aaron Gaubatz,
Mike Conroy and Chad Lietz
played fine defense games at the
ends and line backer positions. Jus-
tin Clark and Justin Gresell were
also good running backs.
We had a lot of good athletes
that can become excellent Varsity
players with a little heart and desire.
Next year we have a good nu-
cleus coming back from the 7th
grade.

J.V. and J.H.
Cheerleaders
Keeping The Spirit Alive
The J.V. and J.H. cheerleaders
were expected to cheer for the
players in rain and cold weather.
Even through all this, they man-
aged to keep their spirit alive.
The Junior High and Junior
Varsity cheering seasons are
spent creating cheers, tightening
their movements and perfecting
their jumps.
After the games, the cheers al-
ways stick in your head, nobody
ever knows why.
Even though these cheerlead-
ers are on different teams, they
share similar goals. That goal is
to keep the fans enthusiastic and
keep the school spirit alive, re-
gardless of the score.
Homecoming is the most hec-
tic period for cheerleaders. Dur-
ing the week of homecoming, all
the cheerleaders get together and
make signs and get those special
routines ready for the homecom-
ing pep assembly.
Win or lose, the cheerleaders
tried to keep the players spirits
up. By cheering them off and on
the field, the cheerleaders play an
active role in the success of our
teams.

The Lady Varsity Girls bas-
ketball team has much to be
proud of. Coming off a season of
17 wins and losing 5 key senior
players, one would expect a try-
ing year.
With two seniors back and a
host of sophomores, coupled
with one starter, the Lady Chiefs
proved to be overachievers. They
provided their fans and support-
ers with a third place finish in the
STA and a District Final appear-
ance.
The main stumbling block
again was Brown City! “I really
enjoyed working with this year’s
squad," remarks Coach Topie.
“The team was young and enthu-
siastic. Their goal was to contend
for the league title and win the
District Championship. We fell a
little short on both, but they
know now they can make a hon-
est run at both next year!"
Well, with a winning season
along with five returning starters
and 10 players overall, it should
provide a sure spark for a title run
in the Fall of 1996. Good-Luck
Lady Chiefs!

The sweat, the cold showers, the
depressing losses, the long bus
rides, practices after practices, the
feeling of victory, the pushy oppo-
nents, the moody refs, and that ev-
erlasting, undying urge to do a little
better next time. Sound familiar?
You must be one of the girls on
Capac's basketball team. Day after
day these girls commit their time,
energy, and efforts to make Capac
look good. As representatives of
this school they must maintain a
satisfactory reputation, respect and
treat others equally, and overall
keep a good outlook on their goals.
This year, Capac's J.V. girls had
losses and victories. Though all the
girls put forth their best effort, Katie
Lewis and Megan Gerlach made
the most points of the season. Ca-
pac's Junior High girls had a good
season ending up with only 3 losses
and 9 victories.
Though all the games are
through, the memories made and
shared aren't even close to being
forgotten. The girls share a special
friendship with one another. Al-
ways talking about that one great
shot someone made, or how unfair
that call from the ref was. Remem-
bering the good times and forget-
ting the bad, laughing at their mis-
takes and learning from them too.
It really doesn't matter if you
won or lost or if you made that last
winning shot. If you strive to do a
little better in life everyday, if you
never let that flame inside you
dwindle, you are the one who has
really won.

It's not just a sport. Volleyball.
It's a performance. If you go to
the game, you will see them play
and their own arranged cheers
which are really cute, kind of
girlish, and neat.
The cheers are the words which
came from the girls' heart natu-
rally during practice and games.
As you know, it's very important
to have communication between
players for the team sports. Their
cheer is one of the ways for the
team to keep communication at
the game. So it's quite indispen-
sable for the team.
The most cheerful lady on the
team is the Varsity Volleyball
coach, Ms. Bartels. She says that
the team’s weak points are that
they don't have hunger to win
and they need more communi-
cation. The Varsity Volleyball
team this year has two coaches;
Ms. Bartels and Ms. Crispell.
And thirteen girls; two seniors,
eight juniors and three sopho-
mores. What's novel about that is
they've got lots of talented young
ladies. Also, both coaches are
new teachers. The coach says
that when the Varsity Volleyball
coaching position became open
she felt it would be a great op-
portunity to get involved with the
students.
The season so far has been very
challenging to the new coaches
and players but as she expected
now they are close to becoming
a competitive team.
“Looking
forward to
next season
and being
able to
watch them
grow into
competitive
athletes and
fine young
ladies."

Digging For the Flame
Serve, Spike and Spirit for J. V.
Volleyball!
Let's work together! Team-
work is the most important factor
for a good Volleyball game. You
can see teamwork at each and
every J.V. Volleyball game,
something our Lady Chiefs really
have and show. But that is not all
of course. Through hard work
and a lot of practice coached by
David Young the J.V. Volleyball
team got better and better.
Julie Morency, the captain of
the 1996 J.V. team: “lam having
a lot of fun in Volleyball this
year. We had 4 returning J.V.
players so we had a young team
but we are very talented and we
have the ability to do very well
this season!"
Full of energy and confidence
the J.V. team plays their games
and keep their spirit alive.
Coach Young spreads the
flame of spirit: “My expecta-
tions for this team are that they
will continue to improve their
volleyball skills throughout the
season. They will gain important
competitive experience that will
take them to the next level of
play, whatever that may be. Our
team goal is to be the Southern
Thumb Association league
champs, by going undefeated.
My team and I hope to gain self
satisfaction by our performance
throughout the season."

On Fire
And Burning Up The Competition
It takes a strong team to face
the challenges the Varsity Boys
Basketball team has encountered.
Throughout the season, our
Varsity boys have put forth a tre-
mendous effort. They have given
their all at every game.
So what makes a member of
the team a true player? Drive and
dedication are the first things. A
player must have the will to win
and the courage to go on after a
defeat. Also, each player must
have that certain something deep
down inside of them that makes
them a player. They must have a
love and respect for the game and
they must understand that re-
spect.
The game of basketball is full
of excitement and team spirit.
Each player contributes their
own uniqueness to the team
which in turn makes the team that
much more special. The team be-
comes a second family for the
players. They spend a good
amount of time together which
encourages a tighter bond be-
tween them.
When it comes down to it, bas-
ketball is an excellent way to
spend your time. Whether you
are in the game or cheering in the
stands, you allow yourself to be
a part of the action.
High school basketball has al-
ways been recognized for the in-
itial reactions it causes: team
spirit, pride, caring and working
together to reach a common goal.
Four qualities each member will
eventually possess. This is what
basketball is really all about.

The clock is ticking and time
is running out. Capac is tied. It
looks like they will lose to the
opposing team. Then out of the
blue Capac scores a two point
shot and then the buzzer rings.
The game is over, and Capac
wins by only one point.
Cooperation and dedication
make winning baskets like the
one I just described. These are
just some of the qualities that a
person must possess to be part of
a team: like Junior Varsity Bas-
ketball. Cooperating with your
team members offensively or de-
fensively. Everyone on and off
the court play important roles.
Dedication is a must, so you are
working at your fullest potential.
There must be balance. Flaying
hard, knowing the plays, and us-
ing your personal qualities to bet-
ter the team as a whole.
The J.V. boys came out this
year to give 100% and more.
Learning from each other’s mis-
takes and practicing hard. These
guys are getting better and better.
This team faces many tough
competitors but with all the right
qualities the future could be
promising for them. They have a
rookie coach, Mr. Brennan.
However, we hope to see all
these players again next year ei-
ther on J.V. or Varsity.

Competitive Cheer
Keeping the fans inspired
Sweaty palms, fake smiles,
stiff movements all in synch.
Long, hard practices, drilling
movements over and over again
to try to get them right. Yes, it is
that time again. It is the compet-
itive cheer season.
Competitive cheer is made up
of ten hardworking girls. This
season they have made a fresh
start with five sophomores, two
juniors, and three seniors. Phuc
Lu, an exchange student from
Germany, says, ‘T enjoy being a
cheerleader because we don't
have anything offered to us like
cheerleading in Germany.”
Competitive cheer is made up
of three different kinds of rounds,
where you have to have different
kinds of cheers.
Round one consists of a com-
pletely unison cheer. It cannot
have any level changes, ripples
or stunts. There are five skills re-
quirements you must perform out
of a list of fifteen.
Round two can contain ripples
and level changes but no stunts.
There must be two jumps per-
formed in complete unison. If
someone does not jump or even
attempt to jump, all points from
this round will be voided.
Round three can be made up
of stunts, level changes, ripples
and basically anything you want
as long as it is considered legal.
The Competitive Cheer squad
is also the Sideline Squad. They
go to games and keep the fans in
the stands pumped up. So the
next time you see a cheerleader
trying her hardest to get the
crowd riled up — help her out and
stand up and CHEER!
These girls have something to smile
about. They won the Spirit Award at STA
for the fourth year; Kim Rummler. Maria

Sizzling the Path
Capac y s cheerleaders work to make it look easy.
What does it mean to be a
cheerleader? It means more than
what most people would think.
It’s more than just looking good
and throwing each other around.
The experience will last you a
lifetime. Displaying leadership,
and keeping spirits high are just
part of the tough job.
At practice is where you
would learn how to create all that
Capac magic. Being a great
cheerleader takes a lot of time
and endless spirit. Hours are
spent perfecting voices, stunts,
and mounts. Cheers are created
and practiced until each person
can perform them in perfect uni-
son.
When cheerleaders are leading
the crowd, they need to be able
to deal with pressure and remain
enthusiastic even when things are
down. A good cheerleader needs
to have unending determination
because they are showing others
the importance of never giving
up.
Cheerleading is a true team
sport. Each person is dependent
on the other and the squad is re-
lying on the performance of each
individual. You must put your
personal feelings aside and do
what's best for the team. They
represent the meaning of what it
is to be a Capac cheerleader.
All the time and hard work
will go unnoticed but the mem-
ories and spirit will always be re-
membered.

Driven by a dream to be the
best, the Capac Freshman Bas-
ketball team made their way
through the season. They weren't
the biggest or the fastest team,
but with “Hustle & Guts" they
battled their way to be a 10-3
ST A record.
They started under a new
coach this year and under his
guidance they came together as a
team. Led by freshman headliner
Jeremy Tice they excelled
through the best The STA had to
offer. All hard workers, they nev-
er gave up and showed everyone
that the future of Capac basket-
ball is bright.
With two big victories over
Marysville going into the high-
light reel. Coach Bartels stressed
“Execution and Teamwork"
throughout the season. These two
factors along with tremendous
talent make it no wonder the
Freshman team is burning up an-
yone that gets in their way.
Coach Bartels, surprisingly
enough has an even better out-
look for next year’s team. Even
though the eighth grade team has
struggled this year, they still have
an athletic core that is one of the
best around. Next year’s Fresh-
man team promises to start a
great tradition for Capac High.
Can you say legacy?
All in all both the eighth grade
and freshman teams are doing
their best to keep the flame alive.

Firing Up The Crowd
Eighth and Ninth Grade Cheerleaders
To many people, cheerleading
may not seem like a hard sport to
be in. However, there is more to
it than meets the eye. It is not a
lot of brainless girls just jumping
around and acting ditsy; it takes
a lot of hard work and determi-
nation to make a quality cheer-
leading squad.
The junior high and freshman
cheerleaders have been trying to
make a name for themselves and
have succeeded in doing so.
From doing stunts to performing
dances at competitions, you are
guaranteed to see a good per-
formance.
The cheerleading have prac-
tice almost every day for a few
hours, in which they go over and
over cheers or dances. They have
also tried to get the Chiefs excit-
ed and spirited by making posters
and banners to hang on the
school walls, so whether you see
the freshman or junior high
cheerleaders at a competition or
a game, be sure to cheer for them.
After all, it can be very stressful
if a crowd does not get fired up.

High School is a long walk. During that walk you will meet up
with the friends and teachers who will make your walk easy or
hard. Whether your walk is just starting or moving on into the real
world, the memories you have will last a lifetime. That is why one
of the most important things you have from high school will be
your yearbook.
In your yearbook there are a thousand memories. Memories that
will last far after you've moved on. These memories may not seem
precious now, but they will be ten years from now. Yearbook
covers all the great times shared in high school. Did you ever think
of what it would be like not to have a yearbook?
Luckily, Capac High School doesn't have to worry about that.
Every year the staffers take a so-called day off to sell business ads.
Except it's not a day off. Staffers must be prepared otherwise they
will look stupid trying to sell an ad without the information.
Staffers need to know prices and sizes or there is no sale. Staffers
must also deal with that worn out question we Capacians are
always asked, * "Where is Capac again ?”
It was a tough year but the staff managed to make it through.
Most importantly there were businesses willing to help this small
town yearbook. By purchasing ad space they made it easier for the
staff to concentrate on creating your memories than creating the
yearbook’s finances.
As you flip through the ad pages keep in mind their patronage to
your memories. If you look carefully you will notice some special
ads that contain discounts for Capac students. Though the ads seem
simple they are anything but. These businesses help pave the long
walk of high school by funding the memories that will last a
lifetime.
October 27th,
1995, the
yearbook staff
took a day to sell
ads. With only
four returning
staffers this was
an experience.
Everything had to
be retaught and
explained. In the
end the staffers
came out on top.
If they didn't you
wouldn’t be
reading this
caption or this
yearbook. Since
the yearbook isn’t
included in the
budget, ads are a
major source of
revenue. Right:

The youngest of our three daughters. You have made us very proud
of you, as we have watched you cheer on the football and basketball
teams and heard your beautiful voice in choir. But even more than
the pride, was the pleasure of working along side of you in many
of the school projects. You are always willing to pitch in. You are
a very' loving and caring person, we hope that never changes. We
know you will be a success no matter what you do in life. We pray

Don’t Quit
When things go wrong as they
sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems
all up hill,
When the funds are low and the
debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you
have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down
a bit,
Rest, if you must — but don’t
you quit.

Pat Brozowski, “Mrs. B.”, Served Capac High
From 1971—1995
Mrs. Brozowski,
You have always been there for us. Everytime we needed some advice, some supplies, or just a shoulder
to whine on, you were there. Now that you’ve retired, you’re supposed to be relaxing and puttering around.
Have you been informed of this yet? You’ve taken on new projects and are helping new people. Best wishes
and best of luck!!
Dedication 176
NEWS FLARES UP IN 1 996
Well kids you've finally reached the
end of the Chieftan and to keep tradition
alive I'm going to refresh your memory
on some of the fiery headlines we'll all
remember.
Oklahoma City was rocked, as terror-
ism hit the United Stales. Militias were
forced to the front of the media, as the
country looked for anyone to blame for
this American tragedy; while the true
moron behind the operation was Timo-
thy McVeigh. O.J. Simpson amazed just
about everyone by getting off on murder
charges in what millions will remember
as the “Trial of the Century'’. Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was as-
sassinated by some lunatic with a gun.
Hey genius, peace is a good thing re-
member? Whitewater was in the news
again as a Senate Committee heard tes-
timony from Hillary Clinton, the first
lime a first lady has been subpoenaed.
The U.S. government shut down twice
this year putting many of the real work-
ers in Washington out of work. Presi-
dent Clinton started sweating about re-
election this year. Hey Tubby, I got
something you can sweat over, it's
called unemployment! African-Ameri-
can males flocked to Washington for the
Million Man March, in a show of unity.
Colin Powell decided not to run for
president. The world said goodbye to
possibly one of the most popular first
ladies ever, Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis.
President Clinton sent troops to Bosnia
forcing many to miss Christmas. I'll bet
Slick Willy never missed Christmas
while he was in the Peace Corp. Bil-
lionaire John Dupont killed an Olympic
hopeful in a fit of psychotic rage.
Among his other claims to fame is the
fact he thinks he's the Dahli Llama, he
thinks all the health bikes in his gym are
time machines, he thinks there are Nazis
living in the walls of his house, and his
favorite mode of transportation is the
tank he drives around town in. Smoke
me another one. Nut Case!
In the entertainment world Michael
Jackson and Lisa Marie shocked mil-
lions by telling everyone they were
splitting up. When asked what she ever
saw in the King of Pop, Lisa Marie re-
plied, “He's all the man I could ever ask
for." Lisa Marie is now checked into an
insane asylum. The nation voted to keep
the Swimsuit Competition in the Miss
America Contest. DUH! ?! Jerry Garcia,
a member of the Grateful Dead, died this
year forcing the band to dismantle and
thousands of dead heads to get lives. Ev-
eryone's favorite wicked clowns ICP
were signed to Battery Records, finally.
Coolio sold a ton of CD's with the re-
lease of “Gangsta's Paradise". Boyz II
Men set a record for appearing more on
other people’s records than on their
own. Hootie and the Blowfish hit the
scene with the hit single “Hold My
Hand". The Beatles attempted a come
back with the release of “Free As A
Bird”. Reports said that the song had a
secret message at the end of it; that mes-
sage, “This song sucks!" Saturday
Night Live showed more “Best Of”
shows than actual “Live" shows. The
show Friends got rid of the monkey, and
in turn I got rid of Friends. Showgirls
bombed at the box office but did set a
precedent as the first porn movie to have
a plot. Christopher Reeves fell off a
horse and was paralyzed. Millions of
teenagers reflected saying, “Who the
hell is Christopher Reeves?" Hugh
Grant, the British actor, was caught in
the act with prostitute Devine Brown.
Grant had this to say about the incident.
“I always wanted to do it with a black
woman." Ms. Brown replied to his
comment with this, “I just wanted to
take his money."
In sports, the Detroit Red Wings are
playing strong hockey hoping to avenge
last year's stunning Stanley Cup loss to
the New Jersey Joes. Grant Hill received
the most votes for the NBA All-Star
Game, how's that for an ego check
Shaq? Detroit fans took up a new motto,
“Lions, and Tigers, who cares — not I."
The Chicago Bulls look to set an NBA
record for wins with strong play from
Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman. Magic
Johnson returned to the NBA, again.
When asked if he thinks he's gotten any
better during his absence. Magic com-
mented, “You know what they say, an-
other year older, another hundred
pounds heavier." Mickey Mantle was
told he needed a new liver due to alco-
holism. Months after receiving the new
liver he died of cancer. Did someone
miss something here? The Atlanta
Braves finally won a World Series de-
feating a strong Cleveland Indians team.
Cal Ripken Jr. single-handedly saved
baseball by breaking Lou Gehrig's rec-
ord for consecutive games played. Mike
Tyson returned to the ring making short
work of “Hurricane" Peter McNealy in
one round. Yeah, like McNealy ever had
a chance! The world will look to Atlanta
this year for the Summer Olympics. The
Pittsburgh Steelers lost in the Super
Bowl to Dallas after lucking out against
the Indianapolis Colts. Hey Kordell,
stay in bounds next time! New York
football fans bored with their team's
performance on the field decided to en-
tertain themselves by throwing snow-
balls. In the process the team's running
back coach was knocked unconscious.
Unconfirmed reports said the person
who threw the snowball was later signed
to a four year contract.

6/2/96?
So what year are you anticipating? What is your year ?
If you know the exact number of days it will be until you're definitely not an
eighth grader, and are basically a Freshman, then your year is 2000. You're
finally moving up in the world. Now you’ll be a part of the Senior High in
Capac Jr.-Sr. High School. Only four more years, and you're out of here.
But, if you have a — “been there, done that" — attitude about Freshman life,
and have a — “doin' that soon" — attitude about being a Sophomore, then your
year is 1999. You think you made it through eighth grade, struggled through
ninth grade, so now it's smooth-sailing, right?
Well, the Class of 1998 might not agree with you. They'll tell you that you
haven't seen the Bio book yet, or the list of Prom decisions to be made.
The seniors-to-be are looking forward to 1997. They figure planning
Homecoming will be a cinch, compared to planning Prom. And, they're
anticipating attending a Prom that their own blood, sweat and tears didn't go
into.
Then there is the class with very little waiting left. As a matter of fact, they
only have until June 2, 1996. This class is almost done being Seniors, and have
a — “been there, done that" — attitude about almost all aspects of high school
life. They've planned Prom, Homecoming, and even their own Graduation.
They've put their all into high school. Now they are leaving Capac High. They
leave behind them a legacy of Spirit Jugs, awesome floats, and a unique brand
of spirit. Now they're looking forward to life after high school.
No matter what your year may be, you are, without a doubt, looking forward
to it. Just be sure that when your year finally does come, you have some
fantastic years at Capac High to look back on. Those years will guide you
through some tough times, like college tuition and financial aid forms. Keep
your class’s flame alive, someday, when the road is rocky, and all around you
are strangers, it will light your way.

Ask the Senior
Class to say their
goodbyes to
Capac High, and
show how they
want to be
remembered, and
this is what you
get. The Class of
1996 has always
displayed their
school spirit in
their own unique
way. Incredible
spirit, awesome
floats (including
the black hearse)
and body surfing
is how this class
wants to be
remembered. Not
to mention a
fierce sense of
competition. No
doubt, these
graduates have
eventful lives
ahead of them.
Watch out world!
